RE: [kmip] Groups - KMIP Group proposal(kmip-spec-1.GroupUpdates-v1.doc) uploaded

Hi Krishna,

I reviewed the spec changes and have the following comments:

1. I need additional clarification on the Object Group Member attribute. Can some group members have this attribute set to Group Member Fresh and others to Group Member Default? Once a client retrieves an object, it will no longer be fresh and the Group Member Fresh setting will no longer be useful. Also, you would still need to check the Fresh attribute to determine whether an object has already been retrieved. We don't actually need the Object Group Member attribute to determine whether an object is fresh. All we need is the Object Group and Fresh attributes. To help me understand why we need this Object Group Member attribute, could you please define Group Member Default? Also, note that Object Group Member is missing the Rules table.

2. Can the Fresh attribute be set for an object that is not in an object group?

3. What should the server do when an object is a member of multiple groups and has these new attributes set?

4. Additional clarification and guidance should be added to the Usage Guide.

Thanks,
Indra
